It appears that Marvel either had a screw-up in their postings or . . they just changed their minds on this book. It's advertised as a special story about Mar-vell, but . . it ends up being a story about Henry Pym. Actually, not even the real one . . the Skrull imposter. I think what Brian Bendis is trying to show us is the inherent weakness' in the Skrulls plans. The problem arises that the people that they're impersonating are heroes. They live, breathe and drink it . . 24/7 . . 8 days a week. So when they assume one of these characters lives and personalities . . they become completely immersed in who they're supposed to be. The problem therefore arises that in order to 'become' their target, and immerse themselves completely into their established lives . . they have to think like them . . they have to make the same choices they would make . . they associate with their friends and family . . they have to adopt their morals and constitution. That being said, it's only a matter of time until they start to question their purpose . . their goals . . their ultimate plan. That's what's happened here with Dr. Pym. And, apparently, it's not the first time. Dum Dum Dugan has to try to make him see the error of his ways, or . . take him out. Which is what he ends up doing in this case. And then, we're back to the Skrull home-world, where they're already working on making a new one. It was an interesting story. The only thing I didn't quite understand was right at the end where there's this scene with Henry and Tigra. I assume this is one of the Skrulls. But it's not really clear. And then . . SHIELD agents come to get him at Janet's request. Khoi Pham did a pretty decent job with the art on this issue. It was . . . ok. I appreciate the story . . or message, that Brian was trying to get across, but . . I'm not really following the whole Secret Invasion thing so . . . I could take or leave this issue.
